A MAGICAL TERRIFIC TOADSTOOL

Posted on February 10, 2025 by mauistamper

Today’s Toadstool Magic has a lot more white space. The Fern 3D Embossing Folder adds a woodsy feeling and a little texture to this simple layout.

Stamps: Terrific Toadstools
Color Palette: Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Melon Mambo
Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes dies, Toadstool Builder Punch, DSP Color Family Packs, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I was ~~wasting tim~~e doing research online looking for card sketches and came across this one. Don’t know why it tickled my fancy, but it did – thank you, Tina!

Where do you stand on Terrific Toadstools? I confess I love these bright colors, but I recently spotted some talented crafters (more research, you know) working in neutrals and I’m going to give that a try, In the meantime, you can shop the Online Store for these beautiful, vivid tones. Thanks for stopping by!

TERRIFIC TOADSTOOLS: BRIGHT THANKS

Posted on February 8, 2025 by mauistamper

Today’s card is full of pattern and color – you just might need your sunnies! 😎

Stamps: Terrific Toadstools, Seaside Wishes
Color Palette: Basic White, Soft Seafoam, Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green
Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes dies, Toadstool Gardens DSP (SAB 2025), Adhesive Shiny Backed Sequins, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Yup – did you notice? The Goldilocks “dits” from Seaside Wishes make yet another appearance. They’re my fave.

And so are these little mushies from Terrific Toadstools. There are so many shapes and sizes, and since the stems are separate from the caps you can create color combinations to your heart’s desire. I chose my colors based on the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series paper.

You can find Terrific Toadstools in the Online Store in a sweet bundle with a builder punch. Add the Stylish Shapes dies to your cart and you’ll qualify for a pack of this charming Toadstool Gardens DSP. But hurry, Sale-a-bration ends February 28th.

SLICE AND SLIDE FUN FOLD: TERRIFIC TOADSTOOLS

Here’s another Slice and Slide card featuring the Terrific Toadstools stamps and the coordinating Designer Series Paper available during Sale-a-bration 2025:

Color Palette: Basic White, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate
Accessories: Toadstool Builder Punch, Toadstool Gardens DSP (SAB 2025), Stampin’ Dimensionals

Seaside Wishes has the Goldilocks “dits”: not too big, not too small, but juuuuuust right.

This fund fold looks a lot more complicated than it is. There’s more information HERE.

Toadstool Gardens 6×6″ Designer Series paper is only available during Sale-a-bration 2025, and if it runs out, that’s the end of that story. The colors are vibrant and the designs are versatile – there are fun designs that coordinate with the stamps, but there are also dots and strips and backgrounds, oh my! Shop the bundle in the Online Store and add the DSP for free with a qualifying purchase.

SEASIDE WISHES for FRIENDS

Posted on February 5, 2025 by mauistamper

Do you keep every stamp set and bundle, or do you let go of older stamp sets? As a demonstrator, I try to work with only current products, but there are a few that go into my “forevah” box. I’ll always have Seaside Wishes.

Stamps: Seaside Wishes, Heartfelt Hexagon (retired)
Color Palette: Basic White, Basic Beige, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Pool Party
Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Seaside Wishes dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder, Heartfelt Hexagon punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, a very old set of card bases with matching envelopes

I made these a month or so ago, and the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set has retired. The punch is still available, and I love this shape. It’s different enough to be interesting without being weird. It makes great interlocking designs, too. You can see one HERE.

This set of printed card bases and envelopes has been languishing in my supply cabinet for a very long time. There are current options in the Online Store.

Seaside Wishes comes in a money saving bundle and includes a Hybrid Embossing Folder. Shop for it in the Online Store.

HAPPY HIBISCUS WITH THE FOREVER PLAID EMBOSSING FOLDER

Posted on February 3, 2025 by mauistamper

Happy Hibiscus looks great in shades of yellow, but don’t you think it’s gorgeous in Fresh Freesia?

Stamps: Happy Hibiscus, Ice Cream Swirl (sentiment)
Color Palette: Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Petunia Pop, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green
Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Happy Hibiscus dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Changing Leaves dies, Iridescent 1/2″ trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Paper Snips

I did a bit of fussy cutting on the sentiment and set it on the small oval from Changing Leaves. I added Iridescent 1/2″ trim to soften the leaves – it’s a beautiful accent trim.

Happy Hibiscus is an Online Exclusive– search for it by name in the Online store and add it to your crafty toolbox!! It’s a great choice for Sale-a-bration 😉

(Between the two of us, I bought an extra bundle for myself just in case I lose anything. This one is a keeper!)

DIY CALENDAR BLOG HOP: FEBRUARY 2025

Posted on February 1, 2025 by mauistamper

Welcome to the second DIY Calendar Blog Hop of 2025. I hope you’re ready for some inspiration from our crafty calendar crew!

I am smitten with the Floral Delight Suite, but I’ve primarily worked with the yellow tones of the DSP. It was time to branch out (get it???) and try a new color combination. I’m loving the lavenders!

Stamps: Delightful Wishes, Elements of Text
Color Palette: Basic White, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Pecan Pie, Gray Granite
Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Delightful Wishes dies, Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots, Masking Paper, Stampin’ Dimensionals, DIY Calendar template

This branch can be die cut or stamped, and for the calendar I wanted the extra lift of the die cut. Adding each blossom takes a little more time, but I hope you like the end result. I don’t think I would do this for a stack of cards, but it’s no problem for a little calendar page.

And for the record, I LOVE LOVE LOVE our new Elements of Text stamps. Trust me when I tell you that you NEED this stamps set!!

I created this “cheat sheet” for the floral spray if you prefer to stamp them. The stamps are mounted on blocks and each block is numbered. The number is placed at the top of the block to make it easier to line up the flowers. I designed the cheat sheet for THIS project.

How do you like Delightful Wishes in lavenders? It’s a completely different feeling, much more calm and gentle versus the happy exuberance of shades of yellow.
